I was playing limit Hold'em on Full Tilt a while ago on a table where you and Jennifer Harman were sitting. For some reason you and Jennifer were talking about her playing every hand preflop. I said that she should do this right now and you said something to the affect of "No, you don't want that". I don't see how I could not want that as it would clearly be a -EV (or at least less +EV) situation for her.

I didn't think much of it until I saw that you made David Sklansky's top 10 smartest poker players list. Is this enough of a mistake for David's list to be revised? I'm guessing it just wasn't meant to be taken literally, but if you actually meant this, do you have a reason?

Why would one statement, even if it were incorrect, knock him off the list?

That was a joke, probably a bad one.

Maybe because Jennifer is better than you.

I think I could beat a full table of 9 Jennifer Harman's in limit Hold'em individually playing all of their cards preflop.

It was not a joke because a statement couldn't take him off. One statement could take him off the list, depending on how close #11 is. He's at #10. It was a joke because David's not going to revise his list.

What's less funny, my joke or the replies? (After "not probably", which was funny.)

Maybe not beat, but I'm positive it would be a lot closer than if all the Jennifer's were playing normally preflop.

I think PP's statement was a joke. The only you lose is if Jennifer Harman can beat you playing 72o, and maybe she's that good.

I would have to be able to beat more than 72o. Probably at least her bottom 15% of cards would have to be beat.
